Man Stabbed To Death In Maryland Popeyes After Fight Over Chicken Sandwich

A 28-year-old man was stabbed to death in a Maryland Popeyes following an altercation over their wildly popular chicken sandwich.

The fight took place on Monday around 7 p.m. at a Popeyes in Oxon Hill.

Prince George’s County Police say the altercation popped off when one man cut another man in line. The fight spilled outside of the restaurant when one of the men was stabbed.

When officers arrived, they found one may laying in the street with multiple stab wounds. He was transported to a nearby hospital where he died an hour later.

PGPD Director of Media Relations Jennifer Donelan made the following statement:

We have been able to determine, preliminarily, that this is related to the release of the sandwich here at this restaurant… this individual was in line specifically for the sale of the sandwich when another customer and he got into an altercation and that ended with the victim being stabbed outside of the business.
